GRADED CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA NOTES BY PMG OR PCGS
ALL LISTED NOTES WILL HAVE PF OR CR NUMBERS IN DESCRIPTION, AS WELL AS THE PF RARITY (R) NUMBER INDICATING HOW RARE THE VARIETY
WHAT IS A PF NUMBER PIERRE FRICKE
Developed a Numbering system for The Confederate Varieties that occurred for many different reasons. Most types were
printed from one or more plates, and many on one or more types of paper. Readily identifiable differences between the
plates used to produce each type. Some were printed
on plain or red fiber paper, thick or thin paper. Others
on paper watermarked with "CSA" ,"J Whatman" or other names in an
attempt to make those notes more difficult to counterfeit.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PIERRE FRICKE'S
